Moving to Ireland. Better than the UK in almost every way.

I thought Fairphone would solve this for me, but the thing is too damn chonky.

• A general feeling of alienation from society. Particularly younger people.
• Dislike of ‘modern’ music.
• Nostalgia over the way things used to be as you have lived long enough to witness the enshittification.

Pubert

No, but I was considering switching back to having one. I had an iPhone + Linux laptop combination for a while, which makes getting your music on your phone impossible. Now I’ve switched to a phone with CalyxOS, getting my FLAC & mp3 files on my phone is doable again, so I might not go the route of getting a dedicated mp3 player.

What’s the best horror film for Halloween?

Invoke emergency legislation to gain more power and dissolve the government. Then, become the new de facto dictator.

Childfree characters.

Physical SIM. Mostly because I’ve never tried to buy a SIM in a country where eSIMs exist yet. It’s kind of annoying, as it’s the only way I can dual-SIM my phone.

Screamers.

True. Soz. Read it while tired.

OSM over HERE/Apple/Google maps. It has much much better mapping of footpaths, which makes it much more useful for planning runs/walks/hikes.

Yup. Sums up our relationship nicely too.

Wheatbeer.

Switzerland?

I removed the door from the bedroom, so ‘open’, I guess.

For a moment I was wondering whether the “two minute rule” was a lower hygiene standard for the acceptable time in which you can eat things after dropping them on the floor.

The only thing I’ve found in life that I find super helpful or swear by is using dated lists to organise what needs doing in my life.

• Rammstein - Du Hast
• Def Leppard - Animal

There could be other causes of double vision. I only really noticed the double vision in the evenings/nights when staring at things that were a reasonable distance away. The image would start off as one, but then dissociate as I kept looking at it.

Denial of my disability. Also, I mostly require prism correction, so at the right distance I get 8K from a 4K set.

Also, prism correction is kind of weird. Your brain deals with it (unless a lot of correction is required) until you get tired. For me, it’s mostly noticeable late evening (image starts to separate into two) or if I’m staring at my computer monitor for a long time (eye/headache).
